Exit Advisory & M&A

From first dollar to final exit — I am in your corner at every stage.

Most founders spend years building a company worth selling, and weeks preparing for the actual sale. That gap costs them millions. I work with founders at every stage of the exit journey: from the earliest financial and operational decisions that determine your eventual multiple, all the way through the sale process itself, and beyond the close.

Before, during, and after the sale

What I help founders do

Before: Increase Your Valuation

  • Financial cleanup and GAAP-compliant reporting that passes buyer due diligence
  • Revenue recognition and accounting structure that maximizes valuation multiples
  • Operational efficiency improvements that translate directly into EBITDA
  • Pricing and commercial strategy that recovers margin and drives up the bottom line
  • Cap table and equity structure optimization before a sale process begins
  • Risk identification across legal, technology, and operations, flagged before buyers find it

Prepare: Get Sale-Process Ready

  • Data room construction and organization: everything a buyer needs, ready and clean
  • Financial model and management presentation preparation
  • Due diligence readiness assessment to identify and close gaps before they become deal killers
  • Valuation analysis: what your company is actually worth and how to defend it
  • Deal structure advisory: asset sale vs stock sale, earn-outs, escrow, representations and warranties

During: Reach the Right Buyers

  • Direct access to a partner network of 20,000+ verified and accredited buyers
  • Buyers ranging from strategic acquirers to private equity to individual operators
  • Deal flow across sectors including healthcare, technology, consumer, and professional services
  • Introductions to qualified buyers who match your company profile and deal size

Through Closing: At the Table With You

  • Present on investor and buyer calls, not just in the background
  • Negotiating deal terms with the financial and operational knowledge to push back effectively
  • Managing the process so you can keep running the company
  • Protecting your interests from LOI through closing
After the sale

The close is not the finish line.

Earn-outs, escrow releases, and post-close purchase price adjustments are where sellers quietly lose part of the price they negotiated. I stay engaged after signing: ASC 805 acquisition accounting, working capital true-ups, earn-out tracking and defense, and the operational transition that protects everything the deal promised you.

Why founders bring me in

"Most of my clients come to me asking for financial help. What they actually need is someone who understands what they have built, can see what it is worth, knows how to increase that number — and when the time comes, knows exactly how to get them the outcome they deserve. I have been on both sides of this table. I know what buyers look for and where founders leave money behind. That combination is rare. And it is exactly what I offer."
